If that problem exists it needs to be solved at the OS level, not worked around in shady ways. BTW, can't Web pages link to the app store?

So you want Zoom and Webex to submit a patch to OSX?

I would say they should put pressure on Apple to make the install flow better, but what am I saying; this is Apple.

Haha :) Tiny companies should put pressure on $1T Apple to change the install flow...

I wonder how could Apple take 30% their revenue out of this -- yeah, by forcing them to submit the apps to the AppStore instead!

Yes. But neither are distributed on the App Store, so…
